ARSENAL were given a huge scare against Bayern Munich as Martin Zubimendi’s backside almost caught the Gunners with their pants down.
The Gunners had taken the lead over the German giants in the 22nd minute through a Jurrien Timber header from a set piece.
A stunning goal from 17-year-old Lennart Karl – who became the second youngest player to score in consecutive Champions League games behind Lamine Yamal – put the sides level ten minutes later.
But Mikel Arteta‘s side were then given a huge scare moments later.
William Saliba got the ball in the Arsenal box and attempted to clear an attack by the Bavarians.
However, his rushed clearance ended up hitting the backside of £60million summer signing Zubimendi.

The resulting loose ball created a goalmouth scramble which almost presented itself to former Tottenham ace Harry Kane in front of David Raya‘s goal.
But fortunately for Arsenal the danger was cleared before the England captain could get torment his old adversary.
Fans were left with their hearts in their mouths on social media.
One said: “Sometimes football writes its own comedy. Saliba’s ‘clearance’ just gifted Zubimendi a front-row assist.”
A second said: “Hilarious move, while Saliba was trying to clear the ball it hit Zubimendi who tried to dodge the ball in his butt.”
Another said: “SALIBA TRIES TO CLEAR THE BALL BUT HITS ZUBIMENDI’S A** INSTEAD!”
A fourth added: “I get back and the first thing I see is Saliba blasting Zubimendi.”
